Fruit in varieties 60/STD PLEACHED

Beautifully trained pleached fruit trees offered in assorted varieties for elegant, space‑efficient screening with seasonal interest. Botanical names vary by variety (often including Malus domestica, Pyrus communis and Prunus domestica). Grown as a standard with a clear stem and a flat, structured framework, these trees suit sunny, sheltered Irish gardens where blossom can be protected from late spring frosts. Maintain the formal shape with regular tie‑in and light summer pruning of new shoots; cropping performance will depend on variety and care. Some varieties are self‑fertile, while others benefit from a compatible pollination partner of the same species.

This tree has been trained to grow flat along a frame, creating a neat, structured shape that is ideal for screening or narrow spaces. Where supplied on a clear stem, the tree was grown to this stem height and then pruned to stop the trunk growing taller. The stem height will remain as supplied, with growth continuing from the trained framework above.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
